Tianyuan Xuanxian

Chapter 5 Vitality
"inverse!"

As that person finished speaking, the surrounding time and space suddenly stagnated, and then time began to reverse.

In a moment, the chess piece transformed by Chen Feng withdrew from the center of Chen Xuan's eyebrows, and fell exactly between the man's two fingers.

At the same time, an illusory chessboard appeared before him, and a white piece could be vaguely seen at the Tianyuan position...

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound of chess pieces dropping, and the man placed the black piece in a corner of the chessboard.

Then, a bitter laugh came from under the hood: "Brother Chen, severing the cause and effect and entering the game with your body, I can't help you play this big game for long!"

The man just waved his hand lightly, and the chessboard disappeared. As the surrounding space fluctuated, the figure in white also disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

"Xuan'er..."

Just when Chen Xuan's consciousness was about to completely dissipate, a familiar voice suddenly reached his ears.

Hearing this voice, Chen Xuan was suddenly shocked: "Grandpa!"

After an unknown amount of time, the voice came again, but it was much weaker than the first one, and the tone was a little hurried:

"Xuan'er, I have separated the information of the Ten Thousand Demons Pool according to its threads and sealed them one by one in your sea of ​​consciousness with the power of my soul. When your soul is strong enough, you can unlock the corresponding seal.

However, if this happens, my remaining soul will completely dissipate. If you succeed in your cultivation and ascend to the upper realm in the future, we may meet again one day.
The road to immortality is long and arduous. Since you have chosen this path, you must continue on unwaveringly. I will wait for you in the upper realm..."

"No, Grandpa, please don't leave. From childhood to adulthood, you have always dragged your sick body to teach me how to support myself, taught me how to read, and told me those interesting stories about immortals.

I… I haven’t fulfilled my filial duties yet, and I haven’t listened to enough of your stories…”

"Ugh!"

A long sigh, full of vicissitudes of life, full of reluctance, but seemingly helpless...

He knelt like this for a long, long time. Chen Xuan knew that after this farewell, he would not be able to see his grandfather for a long time, so he reached out to wipe his tears and stood up again.

"Grandpa, Xuan'er must practice hard and go to the upper realm to see you soon!"

Only then did he realize that he was in a vast space. Apart from a few light balls of different sizes floating in front of his eyes, the space was empty.

"This is what Grandpa calls the sea of ​​consciousness."

Chen Xuan looked down and realized that there was a vast ocean under his feet, and in the ocean, all the memories of his childhood and adulthood flashed.
There was myself, carrying a backpack as tall as myself, going up the mountain to collect herbs alone. There was myself, who got burned because I didn't know how to make a fire to cook. There was myself, who cried uncontrollably beside my grandfather's bed...

Watching the past scenes, Chen Xuan's eyes moistened again. He didn't even notice that as he immersed himself deeper in the past, the "sea level" beneath his feet gradually rose, gradually covering his insteps and calves...

Until the sea level covered Chen Xuan's neck and a feeling of suffocation came, Chen Xuan suddenly woke up. The sea level retreated in an instant and there was no sign of anything unusual.

Chen Xuan felt a little scared. His intuition told him that if he had not gotten out of his memories in time, he would have completely sunk into the sea water and would never wake up.

By then, I am afraid that my consciousness will drown without me noticing, and the external entity will be left with only an empty shell.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan quickly turned his gaze from the fragment of memories at his feet and looked at the seven light balls floating in front of him. The seven light balls were arranged in order from small to large, and countless complex words could be vaguely seen flashing within them, but they were too fast, and even Chen Xuan could not make out the text even with his best eyesight.

On the surface of these light balls, Chen Xuan felt a familiar spiritual power, which must be the seal that his grandfather mentioned.

The strength of the spirit and soul on each light ball is different, and increases in sequence from small to large.

The spiritual power on the largest ball of light was so strong that Chen Xuan would feel a stinging pain in his eyes even if his eyes touched it for a moment.

If he got a little closer, the pressure would probably make his soul disappear completely.

So Chen Xuan turned his gaze to the smallest ball of light.

He could feel that, relatively speaking, the spiritual power on that ball of light was the weakest, comparable to his current spiritual strength.

Looking at the ball of light, Chen Xuan calculated his situation. If he left the Ten Thousand Demons Pool, he would definitely return to the cave.

The spider in the cave was still watching him hungrily. Although he was trapped in the Ten Thousand Demons Pool at that time, his grandfather's soul had dissipated and he had not yet mastered the Ten Thousand Demons Pool. If the Ten Thousand Demons Pool became ineffective after he went out, then there would be no way he could survive.

The only way out is to unlock the seal of the first light ball and obtain the method to control the Ten Thousand Demons Pool.

"But Grandpa said that when my soul is strong enough to carry the information in the light ball, the seal on the light ball will be released, but now the seal is still there..."

After wandering alone for a long time, Chen Xuan seemed to have made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and suddenly reached out to press the first ball of light.
"Forget it, wealth and honor are achieved through risk!"

The moment the seal was pressed, Chen Xuan only felt the spiritual power in his body rapidly dissipating. His face immediately turned pale, and even his body began to change from solid to illusory.

Chen Xuan understood that if his soul was consumed excessively, the final result would be that he would completely disappear from the world just like his grandfather's soul.

But he didn't let go of his hand.
"Fighting to the death knowing you can't win is foolish, but even if there is a glimmer of hope, it should be like a ray of dawn in the darkness. Wait until that ray of dawn appears, and then the clouds will be cleared and the sun will appear!"

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Xuan's body had become transparent, like a ghost, and only a trace of the seal on the ball of light remained.

Just when Chen Xuan was about to continue overdrawing his soul, he saw cracks suddenly appear on the inner wall of the seal, and they quickly expanded outward, spreading to the entire seal in the blink of an eye.

With a loud "bang", the seal on the first ball of light shattered, revealing its true appearance.

Without giving Chen Xuan any time to breathe, the information sealed in the light ball penetrated his brows at lightning speed...

A majestic voice suddenly rang out in Chen Xuan's mind, like the sound of the immortal way, reaching deep into his soul, as if to imprint every word in his soul.

"The Ten Thousand Demons Pond, a treasure of creation, began at the beginning of the chaos of heaven and earth. It took trillions of years to develop its form, collecting the pure essence of billions of ancestors of demon beasts. When the Ten Thousand Demons Pond appears, all demons bow down to it!"

"The Ten Thousand Demon Pool does not require a certain level of cultivation to recognize its master. After recognizing its master, even beginners can activate some of its power. When activating, one must concentrate and control it with their mind."

"If a beginner cultivator controls the Ten Thousand Demons Pool, they can use its three major immortal techniques: [Demon Capture], [Demon Contract], and [Demon Absorption]."

As the words came out, several golden lights appeared in front of Chen Xuan's eyes. After some arrangement and combination, they formed three lines of golden characters, floating in front of him:

[Capture Monsters]: The Ten Thousand Monsters Pool can capture the power of the ancestors of all monsters, which can frighten all monsters and make them feel awe!
